Author: Anna & Paul November 16, 2021 Duration: 1:39:04
Episode 138: This week we really take our time with 1987. We light some candles, play it some jazz and slowly unwrap it. No but Anna and Paul do talk a lot this week because 1987 had some iconic titles. LucasFilm had just introduced to the world the point and click adventure game, Sierra had just introduced the world to Larry Laffer and Sonny Bonds while officially introducing Roger Wilco as well. Also, there were other games too. Even in like, different genres. And so that's why this is a long one, anyway, we had fun & we hope you enjoy listening! Come join the discussion and the community!

Anna and Paul invite you to join their table for The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast, a conversation born from a shared love of adventure games. This isn't a formal review show or a strategy guide, but more like overhearing two friends deep in discussion after a gaming session. Each episode delves into the worlds of point-and-click classics, graphic adventures, and modern titles that carry the spirit of the genre. You'll hear them unpack puzzles, celebrate clever writing, critique frustrating mechanics, and reminisce about the characters and stories that left a mark. The charm of this podcast lies in the hosts' genuine enthusiasm and their personal connection to these games, offering both nostalgic trips for longtime fans and accessible entry points for newcomers curious about these narrative-rich experiences. Tune in for thoughtful, meandering, and often humorous explorations of what makes adventure games uniquely compelling.
